Harry Kane is still suffering from his ankle injury and is unlikely to start.

This means that Spurs will probably line up with Son and Lucas Moura up front.

Although Lucas scored that incredible hat-trick in Amsterdam, the more dangerous player of the two is undoubtedly the South Korean.

If he is allowed to make dangerous runs in behind the Liverpool defence, Son will produce chances for himself and his teammates.

But it won’t be easy. He’ll first have to get past Van Dijk, the PFA Player of The Year and probably the best defender in the world at the moment.

A mouthwatering prospect.
